Title: The Western Australian Forest Alliance

The WA Forest Alliance (WAFA) provide an umbrella body for the many community environment organisations in Perth and throughout the South West that are concerned with forest conservation. Logging and burning spread weeds, feral animals and serious diseases like Phytophthora dieback, which threatens many native plant species. They also cause soil damage like erosion and can increase salinity. Despite government recognition, after years of community campaigning, that our unique coastal tuart forests and woodlands are in a dire state due to clearing for urban development, diseases and weeds, the government continues to approve new housing and infrastructure developments that destroy more and more of the little that remains. |Website | Contact |
